So, what do you think will happen? Only few chapters left. Thanks for the support.
Edwin was at his house pacing back and forth, tensed. He couldn’t able to think anything properly. He kept checking his cell phone hoping Ace’s call but he didn’t get at least a message from him. He wondered what happened between Ace and Arthur after he had left. Everything scared him. He wanted to call Ace but the thought of Arthur might be still with Ace was making him back off from his idea. He knew there might be happening a big fight between Ace and his father but he couldn’t understand what exactly was happening. Gathering the courage he needed, he texted Ace: Call me!! He waited for a few minutes but he didn’t get a reply. He waited for another few minutes thinking Arthur was still with Ace. Then he called Ace with his shivering hands but Ace didn’t lift the call. He was terrified when his calls went unanswered. All the negative thoughts flooded his head that trembled him. He wanted to go there and check on Ace but the thought of Arthur was sti
“Are you really alright?” Edwin asked holding Ace’s hand. Concern was written all over his face. Ace simply nodded his head and forced a smile so that Edwin wouldn’t feel sad or bothered about him. Edwin let out a sigh, speaking “Ace, you... you don’t have to keep everything in your heart. Talk to me, Ace.” Ace let out a nervous chuckle, saying “What? Nothing Ed. Everything is really fine. It’s just that... I still feel hurt because of my father’s rejection. He didn’t talk to me from that day, of course, we barely talked even before this.” “Is this the sole reason? I feel like you are bothering about many things.” When Ace was about to deny, Edwin held his hand, saying “Tell me.” Ace rubbed his forehead with his palm, nervously. He spoke “I... I’m just thinking about the future. I’m thinking of how to face everyone. It kind of... bothers me.” Edwin’s face turned pale hearing him. Not only Ace, but also Edwin always bothered about that. Noticing Edwin’s face, Ace said “See, this
Edwin shivered as soon as he heard it. He couldn’t understand if he really heard it or his mind was playing tricks with him. All he did was rooted to his place while his heart kept pacing so fast that he felt it would come out of him. He tried to convince himself that he was just assuming whatever he had heard but he heard it again from the different direction. He slowly turned to the direction of the voice and saw few people’s confused faces. Ralph furrowed his brow, mumbling “What are they saying? Have they gone mad?” Then he shifted his gaze towards Edwin and noticed him trembling. He held Edwin’s hand, asking “What’s wrong?” Suddenly they heard a voice from their behind and they turned back to see Landon approaching them. He stood in front of Edwin, and said looking at Ralph “Everything is wrong. All the thoughts and assumptions we have had were wrong.” Then he gazed at Edwin, who was shivering so badly, and spoke “His entire life is wrong, isn’t it, Edwin?” “What rubbish are
Ace was dumbfounded after hearing that Edwin’s truth got revealed. It saddened him so much at the same time terrified him. Immediately, he cut Edwin’s call and started to his house. He entered inside, hurriedly and saw Edwin on the couch, looking dejected.As soon as Ace entered inside, Edwin’s eyes welled up with tears. He stood from the couch and hugged Ace in a tight grip, taking off the burden he had been carrying in his heart.Ace too hugged him back, shutting his eyes. Then he pulled himself back from the hug and Edwin’s tears streamed down. He held his face between his palms, saying “Shhhh! Don’t worry, Ed. I’m here... I’m here.”Edwin sat on the couch, saying “I didn’t expect this to happen.” He sniffed. “I don’t know why everything wrong goes in my life.”“No, Ed! Calm down.” Ace sat beside him, trying to console him though deep inside he was fri
Landon was laughing along with his friends while continuously playing the video in which Edwin was confessing about himself. For some reason, it was giving him more satisfaction and relaxation than the alcohol that he was drinking. “What a video! Edwin... gay... oh my God!” Landon kept laughing and his other friends were also joined in his laugh. “His face when everyone was opposing him as the captain... damn that was awesome. That moment was worth capturing.” Landon said still looking at the video in his cell phone. One of his friends said “I always thought he is a good friend of yours.” “Friend?” Landon scoffed. “I might have considered him as a friend once or twice. But he means nothing to me.” “Your face reflects hatred. Why do you hate him this much?” one of his friends, who was feeling a little bad for what they had done, asked. Landon gulped down his drink while clenching his fist. His nose flared while recalling the days when he tried so hard to get the captaincy in his s
“What is it?”Ace asked with hope. He knew his father was not a man of ethics or any morals but he knew his father could solve every problem with his ideas. Because of that he had been ruling the business empire as a king.“Will you listen to me if I say?” Arthur asked raising his eyebrow.“Oh fuck your questions! Just tell me what it is.” Ace yelled in frustration, holding his head.“Simple!” Arthur let out a sigh. “Till you graduate be careful with your meetings with him. After two years marry a girl, whom I choose. Then continue your secret relationship with Edwin. There is no better option than this.”Hearing him, anger gripped through Ace and he shouted “I have never heard any idea as stupid as this. Marry a girl? Seriously? Fuck your idea! I will never do that. I won’t marry any girl.”“Then what will you do? Bear all the insults, bullying of this blood
“We are so happy to see you after a long time.” Edwin’s mother spoke welcoming Kate and Ralph. “We are equally happy, aunt. It’s so good to see you.” Kate replied hugging her. Ralph shook his hand with Edwin’s father, greeting him. They all stepped inside the house and began conversing, casually. “Ed, invite your friend, Ace too. Let’s have dinner together.” Edwin’s father announced that surprised Ralph and Kate, a little. “You know Ace?” Ralph questioned and Edwin pressed his lips together but he didn’t try to convince him or divert the topic. He let Ralph and Kate to know everything. While his father kept saying things about Edwin and Ace, how they both used to visit the town, Ralph and Kate, stunned. For Kate, the doubt of Edwin in relationship with Ace multiplied, but she didn’t dare to ask Edwin although she wanted to know what was going on between them. While they kept talking, Ace and Jacob entered in. Seeing Jacob, Kate’s smile widened just as Edwin’s face brightened when
The next day Edwin’s parents began to leave. His father didn’t talk to him since last night that hurt Edwin. Even though he kept trying to talk, his father was ignoring him and that ignorance shattered him. He could understand his father was too much angry on him but he couldn’t see his father ignoring him. While his father was in his bedroom packing his bag, Edwin entered in. His father gave him a look and continued his work ignoring him. “Won’t you talk to me?” Edwin asked looking at his father. “What’s there to talk?” his father replied, angrily. “Nothing?” Edwin’s eyes welled up with tears. “If you are angry then hit me, dad. But please don’t ignore me.” “What can I do, Ed?” His father shouted. “Do you know what you are doing? Do you really understand?” he scoffed. “A homo? Really?” Edwin bent his head down swallowing down his emotions. His father continued “How can you even say that? Don’t you know the things that you will face once everyone knows it?” Edwin slightly nodde
